Memento Mori
(Remember Your Mortality)
Take time to live your life well.
It’s not Length of Life, It’s Depth of Life.
The skull and cross bones is a reminder that we shall all die one day. There is a quote that goes with the skull symbol; "Which you are I once was, which what I am you will become".
The hourglass represents how time is fleeting, remember to make the most out of each day here on earth. The crown is a symbol of glory, of life after death, a crowning and promise of afterlife. The crown of life is bestowed upon those who perseveres under trials. "Don't afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Revelation 2:10)
